The order of the Commissioners direct
ing the close of nearly all places of
business went into effect, and was
generally observed, except in a few
matters upon which the published in
terviews indicate a difference of opin-
ion between the municipal authorities.
There were several dealers, however,
especially in down town districts, who
kept open, and announced their in
tention to test the law. The order
which produced this result was based
upon an absolute statute, and directed
that all places of business, such as
groceries, saloons, butcher shops,
.confectoners, and cigar stores be kept
closed on Sunday; that news stands
and news boys should not be allowed
to sell after 10 o'clock that drug stores
should sell nothing except medicines,
and that carriages should not loiter on
the streets. The delivery of milk,
bread, ETC., and articles previously
purchased, theorder said would not be
interfered with. nor would eating
houses be closed, providing the bars,
if any, were closed, and separated
from the restaurant. The liquor men
it is believed, in nearly every instance,
obeyed the order, although the police
report that there were one or two vio-
lations. 1t was noticed that two
saloon men kept bartenders at their
doors, and that people were allowed to
enter. Cigar stores were closed, with
the exception of a few places, where
the owners informed the police that
they desired to test the law. All con-
dictionaries were closed, and no hacks
were seen on the streets. The obsev-
ance of the order, as regards drug
stores and news stands, was much less
general. A few of the hotels, notably
the Riggs House and Ebbitt House,
refused to serve guests with wine at
their meals, but this practice did not
generally prevail. The police did not
arrest those whom they detected evad-
ing the law, but reported the facts to
their superiors, and it is understood
that warrants will be issued for their
arrest. The police refuse to state the
number Of violations discovered, but
six arrests were made for drunkenness
to 10 o'clock, against an average of
about 20 on previous Sundays. There
have been the usual number of anus
ing incidents connected with the en-
of the law. The suburban
tipping houses all laid in an extra
of liquor in expectation of the
run, but the rainy weather kept many
at home.
Settlers Driven From Lands.
MILWAUKEE,, April ia special

pany E, Eleventh Infantry, stationed
at Fort Sully, received orders yester-
day to proceed at nee to the Whine
bago and Crow Reservation, and drive
the settlers from those lands. The
company under command of Captain

The greatest excitement ex-
lists, and it would not be surprising to
see a miniature Riel rebellion in
augurated on these lands. This ter
ritory was thrown open by Authur's
administration in February, 1884, and
of honest settlers from all
parts of the United States rushed in
and took possession of claims. Cleve-
